STING Featuring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is proud to announce that Sting, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, will appear on Friday, July 30 at 8:00 p.m. The Bethel Woods audience will find Sting performing his most celebrated songs re-imagined for symphonic arrangement. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will be conducted by Maestro Steven Mercurio (Pavarotti, Bocelli). Drawing from a diverse and illustrious career that has produced numerous multi-platinum albums, a staggering list of number one songs, countless accolades and worldwide record sales of nearly 100 million, Sting-s greatest hits will be reinterpreted with brand new orchestrations created especially for this tour. Selections will include fan-favorites such as ?Roxanne,? ?Next To You,? ?Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic? and ?Every Breath You Take,? to notable songs from Sting-s enduring solo career ? ?Englishman in New York,? ?Fragile,? ?Russians,? ?If I Ever Lose My Faith in You,? ?Fields of Gold,? and ?Desert Rose.? Never afraid to blaze the path of new musical territory, Sting-s foray into the classical realm began with the crossover success of his #1 album "Songs from the Labyrinth," a lute-based interpretation of the music of 16th century composer John Dowland, released in 2006 on Deutsche Grammophon. After completing the enormously successful Police reunion world tour, Sting returned to pursue his passion for uniting musical genres with his most recent release "If On A Winter's Night..." which debuted at #1 on Billboard's classical chart and remains there.
